SACS Award Update

Published on January 31st 2012 - Filed under: General Business

On 22 December 2011, Fair Work Australia granted an application by the Australian Services Union to further delay the transition to the new classification structure of the Social, Community, Home Care & Disability Services Industry Award for workers employed under SACS and Crisis Accommodation classifications. The transition had previously been postponed to February 2012, and now will not occur until 1 July 2012. This is due to the Equal Pay Case. (Workers employed in Home Care and Family Day Care classifications will still transition to the new classifications and loadings from 1 February 2012).

Please find attached the decision from Fair Work Australia which amends Schedule A – Transitional provisions.
